Thermochill rad flux cleanup

[menace2society]

There is nothing wrong with TC rads. Seems to be a bunch of loose nuts behind the keyboards...

If you don't like'em, then don't buy'em...

I didn't

Problem is, while its expensive, the manufacturing cost is still higher as is then most other rads. To have the pre cleaned would add close to $10-$15 to the cost, or else they wouldn't make much money.

Personally I think it would be worth a few extra bucks for them to use some kind of rad flush when their pressure/leak testing the rads, to make the post purchase flushing a bit easier, but whether that's worth it for you is personal preference. Many seem to not like Feser rads cause their 15-20 bucks more, so many probably wouldn't.

Don't mean to sound crass, but how do you know what manufacturing to profitability cost are?

What ever the costs are leaving the Rad dirty should not be a option.

+1

Unless the new batches of thermochill radiators have something changed in their metal building or polishing, which I doubt

Anyhow, nor me, neither most people here ever found a problem with their thermochill for years until these few last weeks. All reports are using some PT nuke and other "bizarre" additives. The reaction is so quick that it's evident it's not oxidation. It's some chemical reaction with coolant/metal/tube parts

Try pure distilled and come back report

Thermochill doesn't make there Rads out anything DIFFERENT then Swiftech,HWlabs or anybody else and if it's not happening with the other Rads and these "bizarre additives" .... Then who should be held accountable Thermochill or the boogieman
